How to mention your devotions to non-Catholics:

I pray the Divine Office:
I pray the Psalms at some points during the day just like Jesus and the Apostles did.

I pray the Rosary:
I meditate on the life of Jesus by praying the Angelic salutation in Luke’s Gospel.

I pray for the souls in Purgatory:
I invoke the redemptive power of the cross to help transform the departed for their union with God.

I pray a novena:
I put forth my petition before the “cloud of witnesses” who will help us finish the race (Hebrews 12:1).

I pray the Divine Mercy chaplet:
I invoke the cross for the outpouring of God’s mercy upon the world.
